Where did Götz spend his childhood and youth?
Sir Götz was part of the Berlichingen family and was born around 1480, the tenth child of Kilian von Berlichingen and Margaretha von Thüngen. He spent his childhood at Jagsthausen Castle, at the monastery school in Niedernhall, and with his uncle, Konrad von Berlichingen. His subsequent court service for the Margrave of Ansbach was a poor fit in the long run for the young and headstrong Götz.
